Many families are genetically prone to pass on something, even though the disease may not manifest itself at birth. In my stepmother's family, it's a rare, aggressive form of breast cancer. My mother's family has mental illness, my dad's family has macular degeneration and auto-immune disorders. Should none of my family have reproduced in order to not pass these diseases on? In my opinion, no. It's the luck of the draw. If everyone without perfect genetics chose not to have children, the human race as we know it would most likely die out.
